Very unhappy with ACT 2005, particularly the Word Processor, which YOU SHOULD NOT COUNT ON FOR ACCURATE SPELL CHECK. Since I deal with "C" level execs, this is critical for me and it doesn't work. I have to do my work in Word, then create a new doc in ACT and copy and paste my doc from Word. Ridicul ...

This was Act!'s first attempt at a massive overhaul of their system, changing from Visual FoxPro to SQL Server. All of the kinks listed here by people were fixed in the 2005 version, the newer versions 2006, 2007 and 2008 all run smoothly if configured properly and the computer is up to spec as far ...

I've been using ACT for ages and was persuaded to upgrade from v 6 to v10.. For me it's useless.. unstable, slows everything down, won't alter templates, crashes, I cant find phone numbers with spaces.. useless! I'm looking for an alternative now!

Our sales team had similar problems when we upgrade to the new ACT!. Slowed machines, impossible to email, synch problems. No real enhancements. We gladly go back to the old version at this point, but it's too late, We're looking for a CRM product.

I didn't get my problems solved so I will do my best to get ACT out of my business and find a better solution.
If you're considering ACT! software, all I can tell you is: don't do it! I hate to say that, because I loved this software up until the last version (I guess when Sage took over?), but ...

My understanding is that ACT 2005 (North American Version) is the UK version ACT Professional V.7.xxx. As a company, we have for many years, used Sage products. This was our first purchase of ACT after persuasion from the Sage team. They said ACT would solve our CRM needs. The initial version gave ...

We are 10+ users on Best Software, ACT! 2005 PREMIUM Workgroup. We cannot get it to work. We have spent thousands of dollars on licenses and people time. The SYNC technology is unreliable and buggy. It kills any computer with less than a gig of RAM. Stay Away! Its Premium!
